You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 196

When he saw Kenneth coming downstairs with Natasha and the three children, Fabian had reason to believe that the banquet wasn't just organized to stand up for Natasha but was also a well-laid plan to kill two birds with one stone.

On one hand, he could support Natasha by punishing the Lynch family. On the other hand, he could claim her for himself by declaring the three kid's identities. After all, as the mother of his children and the fact that he spoils her to that extent, no one will dare make a move on her even if they know she's divorced. Just like that, he has snuffed out the hopes of all her suitors.

With that thought in mind, Fabian shook his head.

It's such an elaborate scheme!

He couldn't help but be impressed by it.

After that, he reminded himself not to get on his boss' nerves. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what struck him even in death.

Holding that thought, Fabian maintained a faint smile that was filled with admiration.

During the second half of the banquet, Natasha barely showed herself, as she was resting upstairs. Instead, Liam was entertaining the guests with the three children by his side.

With regards to the children being reunited with the Hamilton family, Natasha's stance was clear even though she hardly commented on it.

She wasn't bothered by the fact nor did she have any objections.

Even though she was the one who gave birth to them, she recognized that they had independent lives to lead. Therefore, she didn't want to interfere too much in their lives and just wanted them to be happy.

Furthermore, there was only upside and no downside to the children being placed in joint custody. This was a fact that Natasha was keenly aware of.

Meanwhile, Terence was also upstairs, as he, too, had been invited.

He had missed Natasha's and Erin's altercation earlier. By the time he arrived, the matter was more or less resolved. Or else, he would have dashed forward to slap the latter for the shameless way she behaved.

However, after witnessing how Liam and Kenneth had protected Natasha and the children, Terence had nothing more to say.

Despite his reluctance to admit it, he couldn't deny that the Hamiltons did an excellent job.

Nonetheless, Terence was upset by the thought of the children staying by Liam's side downstairs.

“Damn that Liam. Despite the children clearly belonging to the Watson family, he is showing them off for the glory of the Hamilton family!” Terence complained in a slightly jealous tone.

Natasha didn't comment, as she was looking at her phone.

Terence furrowed his brows and looked at her. “Nat, don't you have anything to say about this?”

Putting her phone away, Natasha gave Terence a calm look. “Grandpa, the children are ours and also theirs.”

“Wh-Why do you say that?”

“Isn't this conclusion better than what we had initially expected? At the very least, the Hamilton family has no intention of fighting over the children with us while the three of them are overjoyed at the arrangement. For me, that's more than enough,” Natasha calmly explained.

“B-But I feel as if the children don't belong to the Watson family.”

Natasha chuckled. “Grandpa, only the children know where their hearts actually belong. Their family name and who they stay with are just temporary phases in their lives. Sooner or later, they will grow up and leave us. Our responsibility is just to raise and educate them. Don't tell me that we're supposed to tie them down by our side for the rest of their lives?”

“You do have a point, but...” Terence didn't know how to express himself.

“At the very least, they're happy. That by itself is enough. We'll have to give them the freedom to make their own choices in life,” Natasha added.

Given what Natasha had said, Terence could only purse his lips in silence.

Sensing Terence's disappointment, Natasha comforted him, “Grandpa, don't worry. No matter where they go or what happens to them, you will always be their Gramps. That is something no one can ever take away from you.”

Terence pondered upon her words. “That's true.

Natasha threw him a faint smile. “You're also my dearest and most beloved Grandpa.”
